    A hidden gun does not automatically suggest there has been a crime. It could just as easily mean that the owner was concerned about illegal confiscation by the police or politicians. There is a great story in Zikron Yaakov of a family of spies during the Turkish occupation of Israel. They were eventually caught and tortured by the Turkish but Sarah, the woman of the house, had a pistol hidden in a door frame of her bedroom (Some say it was the bathroom). The hiding place was very well designed too. When she understood that she would be tortured more and then sent to Damascus, Syria she killed herself to be sure she didn't reveal the rest of the people in her extensive network of spies against the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Google the Aaronsohn house of Zikron Yaakov for the whole story.

    That mindset would be unique in the US I would think...people afraid of confiscation make sure it's readily available... Ain't nobody takin my guns...
